Just a small vent

Soooo, I got a new job. Great news right? ....sure. so I EBF. My first concern is LO. She RARELY takes a bottle and I'm so worried LO (little one) will just scream all day. I'll be working 8am-4:30pm Mon- Fri. :-( Next, every time I tell my bf what to do when I'm gone he's jokingly goes "ya ya ya I got this"which frustrates me because I KNOW he will get frustrated and I'm trying to tell him what to do if she gets fussy. He thinks he knows everything. He's a FTD and this is my 2nd baby. This will be the first I ever leave LO (little one) this long. I'm so nervous! Also, NOBODY seems excited I got a job. Only my best friend. She has been constantly texting me tell me congrats, good luck, tell me how it goes, I'm so excited, etc. She reassures me about LO. But when I told my bf about it all he says is "cool" and I sarcastically say "congrats Denise! Good job! " and he just laughs and tells me congrats. Then I tell my mom I FINALLY got a new job ( I've been looking since September) and all she says is "oh, OK where?" And I tell her Molly Maid. Its a company that cleans houses and apartments. And she's like why are you working there, if you work those days and hours why don't you get a job as a Medical assistant again? And I tell her that I don't want to work in the medical field as an MA anymore. And she just gives me a look like I fucked up. I'm just so irritated. So many things are just bothering me. I would love to be a SAHM (stay-at-home mom) but I NEED to work. Grrrr

I'm sooooo excited for you! (for what its worth)
And I agree with pp. nobody will take care of your sweet girl like you do but he's.her dad so you have to be confident he's looking out for her. And give him one day that you're actually gone. He'll probably be begging for advice.

As far as the bottle, I don't really know, but they say most babes will take it when you're gibe long enough that theyre really hungry. It'll be tough for her at first but I know you'll love her to bits when you get hone from work. Be proud girl, you're doing the right thing!

Congrats on the new job Nova! I'm currently looking for a job after getting fired, and I expect people to fucking cheer me on when I finally find one. Finding a good job these day is difficult! And no one will ever be able to do as good a job a you when I comes to your baby, but your bf will get into the swing of things once you go back to work. It might be tricky and stressful the first week, but he'll find a routine that works well. The thing with guys is they know it all. Lol they really don't, but they like to think they do! So just give him the brief run down, write a list for him if you want, but he'll just end up doing his own thing anyways because he's dad and dad knows what hes doing.....lol. Complete sarcasm, but just let him do it. If he goes crazy, tell him that he had the opportunity to listen and he chose to be stubborn;) good luck mama and congrats on the job!

Congrats on your job!! I understand you being nervous about leaving your baby with your bf but he will do fine. Try not to be so worried. That's his baby too and he will figure it out. It will be good for him. I let my husband figure out what to do with our son without me stepping in and telling him what to do and he does great. I'm not afraid to leave my baby with him at all. You will get use to it.
